I know it mkes work for you RB, but it's very cool that we once again get to follow a recruit playing for the USNDTP.:D :D

I think that getting Haggerty may be more significant than getting JD'A. Anyone get get lucky once and get an USNTDP recruit (even Union had one), but two shows a trend.

On Saturday, the USNDPT U-18 team lost to the Denver Pioneers 8-1. Ryan Haggerty had no points or penalties. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/1011/boxes/mdenu181.o02

Haggerty's line is now 5-0-1-1-7.

RPI recruit, Ryan Haggerty, played at Denver last night with USA U-18. He was listed on the 4th line and didn't get a great deal of ice time. He was the "sacrificial lamb" and sat for a 5 min. penalty when an USA player got ejected. He had -1 for the game. Considering DU scored 8, not too bad. He didn't seem to be making big mistakes, but he wasn't a dominant player. Have to see how he develops over the season.

Thanks for the report. Of course, because he didn't get much ice time and several of DU's goals were at uneven strength and wouldn't count in the +/-, a -1 might be par for the course.

Since RPI is playing CC next weekend, it wouldn't surprise me if someone from the 'Tute is out there watching the U-18 team playing CC this evening.

On Sunday, the Stouffville Spirit defeated the Brampton Capitals 11-1. Matt Neal had no points or penalties (in an 11-1 game? :eek: ). Interesting that the scoring virtually stopped at the end of the 2nd period and then the fighting began. http://ojhlsite.stats.pointstreak.com/boxscore.html?gameid=1345736

Neal's line is now 9-5-3-8-4.

Article about Matt Neal commiting to RPI http://www.yorkregion.com/sports/local/article/881693?loc=interstitialskip
Neal said he had entertained offers from Cornell University and Union College and had visited Rochester Institute of Technology and Canisius College.

FYI: the last game of the B.R.O.'s suspension has been lifted; therefor he'll begin playing this Friday.

On Friday, the Cornwall Colts defeated the Brockville Braves 2-1 (3-2) in a shootout. Jacob Laliberté had an assist and a slashing penalty. http://pointstreak.com/prostats/boxscore.html?gameid=1318592

Laliberté's line is now 8-7-6-13-2.

Now the shootout says it was 2-1 -- still no JL.

These are the kind of recruiting battles that are great to see us win. Coups like D'Amigo were great, but will not be something that happens on a regular basis until we make the tournament on a regular basis. Beating out other "academic" schools consistently for not-quite-top tier guys like Neal is the first step in making that a possibility.

I'm intrigued that Canisius was in on Neal after previously having (prematurely, apparently) landed Brock Higgs. They've had a number of solid talents in recent years. Bucky Gleason's insanity aside, it seems like Dave Smith has the Griffs poised to be a solid AHA program in the near future.

I agree. However, did we ever hear who else was recruiting Higgs (after he de-committed from Canisius)? I still (especially after hearing reports from the scrimmage) am not nearly as high on him as other people here seem to be. While I think he can certainly be a good contributor on a checking line, I personally don't seeing him having much more offensive upside than, for example, Malchuk or Kurt Colling.
